Chris,
Your problems have nothing to do with screen and/or display numbers.
The real problem is indicated by the following line:
> winFinishScreenInitFB () - Could not allocate frame buffer
That means that one of the Win32 API calls that XWin.exe makes to allocate a
GDI bitmap is failing... I need to add a few more failure messages to
XWin.exe to figure out what is going on.
You may still have problems with display and/or screen numbers after we get
the frame buffer allocated, but we'll cross one bridge at a time.
Harold

Hi, thanks for responding! I tried Xwin.exe ":2" and got the following
error:
DuplicateHandle failed Win32 error 6DuplicateHandle failed Win32 error
6_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
winDetectSupportedEngines () - Windows 95/98/Me
winDetectSupportedEngines () - DirectDraw not installed
winSetEngine () - Using Shadow GDI DIB
winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () - WindowClient width 640 height 480
winFinishScreenInitFB () - Could not allocate frame buffer
Fatal server error:
Couldn't add screen 0
Any ideas on what could be wrong? Thanks again for your time.

Chris
